On Saturday, just after noon, I caught the train out to Richard and Elizabeth's house, to spend the weekend with them. I had a wonderful weekend, catching up with them, and them with me, and wandering around the coast taking photos. On Saturday afternoon, the weather was quite nice, so we drove to Maldon
, and walked down the pier, taking photos of the Thames barges, and the statue of Brithnoth, an Anglo-Saxon defender, killed when the Vikings invaded in 991.
On Sunday, during a bit of break in the rain, we drove to Tollesbury and took some more photos of boats and such around there.
I was also introduced to Elizabeth's two new hens, and acquainted with what "henpecking" really is. All in all, it was a very pleasant weekend.
